Episode Details

West Yorkshire’s three councils are teaming up with a bold new plan: charge companies up to £2,500 per day for roadwork during rush hour. The “Lane Rental Scheme” aims to shift construction and utility work to quieter hours, boost efficiency, and reduce traffic chaos across Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield—all under one unified system approved by the Department for Transport. Beyond smoother commutes, it’s also designed to cut emissions and improve bus reliability. Officials hope this financial nudge will force smarter planning and less disruption for everyone on the road.
